I use the handle "christel" everywhere else, and note it's been unused here since 2005, wondering if there's any chance of a rename? Thank you. |
Revision as of 21:36, 28 September 2008
Any requests for usurpation of global accounts with attachments on other projects should be made at meta:Steward Requests/Username changes. Only requests to usurp en.wiki accounts without significant attachments on other projects will be processed here. |
No English? En-0? Find an ambassador in your language to help. |
This page is a forum in which users can request, and global renamers (including Stewards) familiar with local usurpation guidelines, can consider and carry out, the "usurpation" of usernames primarily held locally. This consists of renaming an existing account in order to vacate the username and allow another user to take it.
Please note that global accounts whose "home wiki" is another project or which have significant attachments on other projects cannot be usurped here; these requests must be made at meta:Steward requests/Username changes (see meta:Help:Unified login).
A few users have agreed to provide assistance with the mechanics of this process. If you wish to assist as well, please read the linked page carefully.
Notes
- The account you want to usurp must have the English Wikipedia as its "home wiki", i.e. or should be displayed next to the en.wikipedia.org entry for the account at Special:CentralAuth.
- The account you want to usurp should have no edits or significant log entries to qualify for usurpation (though rare exceptions are made in some circumstances). This includes edits or log actions on other Wikimedia projects. These can be checked through Special:CentralAuth.
- Please do not request usurpation of another account if your own user account is less than several months old, or barely used. In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users.
Instructions
- Log in to your present account.
- Please do not leave a talk page message or e-mail the target account yourself. If this becomes necessary, a user familiar with the usurpation process will do so.
- Click here to place your request.
- Replace "
TARGET NAME
" with the username you wish to usurp. - Replace "
YOUR REASON
" with a description of why you want to usurp the account. - Leave the "Subject/headline" field blank.
- Replace "
- If the URL above does not work, simply copy the following text, click "edit this page" and paste it at the bottom of the page. Modify it as indicated.
{{subst:usurp|TARGET NAME|reason=YOUR REASON}}
Advanced usage

---|
|
- Preview the changes and make sure both names are spelled correctly. Click "Publish changes".
- Your request is now complete and ready to be processed after the hold period (usually about a week). If the owner of the target account does not object, a global renamer will fulfill your request provided other requirements are met. Do not be surprised when you find yourself unable to log in to your old account.
- Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.
Please place your request in the section for the current day, at the bottom of the list. It is currently 11:42:09, 9 September 2024 (UTC) (

Well, I wish to change username primarily for the ease of any user trying to find me. As my username at present is an acronym (a fairly random one at that) it is currently more difficult than it perhaps should be to find me, so I would like to change my username to this similar one.

Notes:
I believe the en.wikipedia account was created by me. The email address is probably non-working by now, though, and I've forgotten the login password.(Now I doubt it a bit; kindly ignore. 11:45, 27 September 2008 (UTC)) In any case, it is rather old.- The en.wikiversity account is my own former-account-turned-doppelgänger (wikiversity:User:Jafet).
- I went for unified login under the current name a while ago; if this request is approved can I change my unified login over to the new name? How easy/difficult would this be?

- Well, I certainly browsed Wikipedia about that time; however the details are hazy now. Now I think it's a weak argument and have removed it. ~ Jafet • business • pleasure • voicemail 11:43, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- The good news is that you are the holder of the right to rename all your accounts to Jafet, since you are the account with most edits (on all wikis - confirmation). Some of those other accounts, one on the Italian Wikipedia for example, was created back in 2006. However, since this English Wikipedia account is held by no-one as part of SUL, you should be able to rename to this in a week's time - the time taken so the user can return to view the message and raise any possible objections.

- By the way, can you help with my SUL renaming question? (See the third bullet of my "Notes".) ~ Jafet • business • pleasure • voicemail 11:56, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- If you've not yet unified your account, stop now. If you wish for your accounts to be renamed to Jafet, you will have to rename them all locally (at the the wikis you are active on) and then unify them through Special:MergeAccount, after which every account you operate will be called Jafet (beware though, as soon as you venture off onto unvisited wikis, accounts under the name Jafet will be created automatically). It is relatively easy. Caulde 12:04, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I have already performed unification on "Jafet.vixle"; do your instructions apply to that? ~ Jafet • business • pleasure • voicemail 12:24, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- You can ask at meta, if you wish. Stewards there deal with many SUL queries every week. (I was going to tell you to ask for deletion of the already unified account, but apparently that bug has been fixed, so maybe you just ask for the rename of the SUL there? I'm not sure. I should know, but I just returned to editing this board after an absence.) Caulde 13:33, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
